01.03.2016 - An interesting story. I stopped eating meat last year. It wasn’t an impulsive decision, not even an over-night one. It was slowly and suddenly I realised that it was actually easy for me to avoid meat. It lasted around 8 months. Then I traveled to a small island and eating meat was just much easier, than anything else.

Our long tables of 12, full with comfort food like delicious hamburgers and laughters, with our cell phones all lined up, because no one was allowed to touch their phone while we were having dinner… just made me happy and I just didn’t want to stress about the eating meat vs. not eating meat.

 

And then I just embraced meat again. I went back to having decadent dinners with amazing typical meat plates in Lisbon with my boyfriend. We would have the greatest time in search for those small restaurants with typical food.

 

And then I realised I was having too much of it. So all of this to tell you that I’m making an effort to balance things up, have really healthy meals on a daily-basis and eventually allow myself to embrace some decadent meat plate once in a while!

 

The thing is that everyday there are some news about something we eat on a daily basis that it’s bad for us after all. Something that causes cancer. Something that has this and that that is really bad for our bodies, and will make them sick in a few years. The whole world is going on a gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free… diet. It’s making my head crazy with all of this, with fear of eating in peace, because the thought that the food I’m eating might be bad for me after all, is always there. So I’m also trying to avoid all this craziness and find a balance for a healthier lifestyle.

 

And this was my lunch today.
